#2... convert alcohol in the intestine into harmless acetic acid before it enters the bloodstream.
You could put it on your chips post-pub and eliminate the need for vinegar!

I understand harm reduction but what is the point of reducing the intoxicating effects of alcohol? What's the point?

Yeah people who want that could just drink beer with a low alcohol content (so called "alcohol-free beer", which usually still has some 0.5%)

#8Something to sober you up if you're already drunk would be amazing, but I don't think this will do that

Non-alcoholic beer sales are close to $40B/year globally and going up. Generally speaking, the flavor of non-alcoholic beer pales in comparison to the real thing.
Then there's also the market for wine and spirits.

There's many occasions where I don't want to drink, but not doing so can make things uncomfortable. It's unfortunate, but there's lots of occasions where abstaining can make other people uncomfortable, or cause them to give you a hard time, or any number of other things. I would love to be able to take something that allows me drink but with none of the side effects, just to avoid potential uncomfortable situations. Again, I'm not condoning the behavior and it's unfortunate that this is how society is sometimes. But it would be nice to have this option.
There's also people who have difficulty controlling their drinking once they start. This would certainly help in those scenarios.
Another example is a situation where a woman may be pregnant so doesn't want to drink, but may not be far enough along that she wants people to know. Not drinking would get people wondering, but drinking could harm the fetus. I don't know if this gel would make drinking safe in that scenario - but if it does, that would be a great situation to use it in.
